Head of a Youth with Curly Hair
A young man's head in three-quarter view, framed by thick ringlets, in reddish-brown media
A study of the head of a young man seen in three-quarter view, the face inclined slightly and turned to the viewer's left. Abundant curling hair frames the head in tight ringlets that fall to either side of the neck. The features are softly modelled in reddish-brown wash and fine hatching, with delicate attention to the eyes and mouth. The sheet carries no text.

Head of a curly-haired youth in three-quarter view
The youth's face is drawn in three-quarter view with soft, rounded modelling of the cheek, brow and lips. Masses of tightly curling hair spring from the crown and fall in ringlets around the face and neck, rendered with looping, calligraphic strokes. Only the head and the beginning of the neck and shoulder are indicated.
